060: The Dark Side of Livestreaming in Asia (Feat. Legal Mindset)
In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Esquire from the YouTube channel Legal Mindset to expose the growing trend of nuisance streamers in Asia—content creators who break local laws for clout, profit, and views. We dive into shocking cases like Johnny Somali and Vitaly, who face serious legal consequences in Korea and the Philippines for disrespecting cultural norms and engaging in illegal behavior during livestreams.Andrew, a U.S. attorney currently living in Thailand, breaks down the legal systems in Asia, why these streamers think they’re untouchable, and how local governments are starting to crack down. We also discuss what makes Bangkok such a hotspot for digital nomads and content creators—and why Thailand isn’t the lawless playground some outsiders think it is.
